Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 1

Original Legal Text

1. A method of receiving a radio resource allocation in a wireless communications system, the method comprising: receiving, by a User Equipment (UE) that is in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state, an RRC message from a network, wherein the RRC message includes a first parameter for controlling a request for the radio resource allocation, and wherein the RRC message further includes a second parameter indicating time information related to a delay of a transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation; and determining, by the UE, whether or not to transmit the request for the radio resource allocation to the network based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

Plain English Translation

In a wireless network, a mobile device (UE) in a connected state receives a message (RRC) from the network. This message contains a parameter that controls whether the UE can request radio resources, and another parameter specifying a time delay related to sending the request. The UE then decides whether to send the radio resource request based on both parameters in the RRC message. This helps the network control how often devices ask for resources.

Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein service type information related to an emergency call is received from the network.

Plain English Translation

In addition to the method described where a mobile device receives a message with parameters to control radio resource requests, the network also sends service type information related to emergency calls. This allows the network to prioritize emergency call requests differently than regular data requests when determining whether the UE is allowed to send a resource request.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC message is received with control information for a RACH (Random Access Channel) channel.

Plain English Translation

Building on the method of controlling resource requests, the RRC message containing the parameters for controlling the radio resource request is received along with control information for the RACH (Random Access Channel). This means the network uses the random access channel to configure the UE's ability to request resources, potentially optimizing resource allocation during initial access or after periods of inactivity.

Claim 4

Original Legal Text

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the radio resource allocation is transmitted to the network using a specific radio bearer indicated by radio bearer information included in the RRC message.

Plain English Translation

In the method for controlling resource requests, when the mobile device transmits the radio resource request, it does so using a specific radio bearer identified by radio bearer information included in the RRC message. This allows the network to dedicate a specific communication channel for requests based on the resource control parameters, ensuring prioritized or controlled access.

Claim 5

Original Legal Text

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the radio resource allocation is transmitted to the network when call type information or service type information allows the UE to transmit the request for the radio resource allocation.

Plain English Translation

Continuing from the method where the mobile device decides whether to send a request, the radio resource allocation request is transmitted to the network only when the call type or service type information allows the UE to do so. This means the decision to transmit is dependent on the type of communication or service being requested, allowing differentiation between data, voice, or other services.

Claim 6

Original Legal Text

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the radio resource allocation is transmitted to the network when a priority level of uplink data is higher than a reference level indicated by priority information.

Plain English Translation

As an extension of the method where the mobile device determines whether to send a resource request, the request is transmitted only when the priority level of uplink data is higher than a reference level indicated by priority information. This allows the network to control access to resources based on the urgency or importance of the data the mobile device needs to send.

Claim 7

Original Legal Text

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the radio resource allocation is transmitted to the network in an order of a priority level of uplink data indicated by priority information.

Plain English Translation

In the method for controlling resource requests, the radio resource allocation request is transmitted to the network in an order based on the priority level of the uplink data indicated by priority information. This ensures that the most important data gets preferential access to radio resources, improving overall network performance and user experience.

Claim 8

Original Legal Text

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the radio resource allocation is transmitted to the network any time before or after a certain time period indicated by the time information.

Plain English Translation

As another aspect of the method where the mobile device determines whether to send a request, the radio resource allocation request can be transmitted to the network at any time before or after a certain time period indicated by the time information in the RRC message. This provides a time window or constraint within which the UE is allowed to transmit the resource request.

Claim 9

Original Legal Text

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation is prohibited for a certain time period indicated by the time information.

Plain English Translation

In the described method for controlling resource requests, the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation is prohibited for a certain time period indicated by the time information contained in the RRC message. This prevents the UE from sending requests too frequently, potentially overloading the network.

Claim 10

Original Legal Text

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein a timer is activated for the certain time period in order to prohibit the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation.

Plain English Translation

Expanding on the concept where transmission is prohibited for a period, a timer is activated for that certain time period to prevent the mobile device from sending a resource request. This ensures that the prohibition is enforced for the specific duration indicated by the time information.

Claim 11

Original Legal Text

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the certain timer is a scheduling request prohibit timer.

Plain English Translation

Further specifying the timing mechanism to control resource requests, the timer that prohibits the transmission of the request is a scheduling request prohibit timer. This clarifies the type of timer used to manage access, specifically preventing scheduling requests for a set duration.

Claim 12

Original Legal Text

12. A method of providing a radio resource allocation in a wireless communications system, the method comprising: transmitting, by a network, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message to a terminal, wherein the RRC message includes a first parameter for controlling a request for the radio resource allocation which will be transmitted from the terminal, and wherein the RRC message further includes a second parameter indicating time information related to a delay of a transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation by the terminal; receiving, by the network, the request of the radio resource allocation from the terminal when the terminal is allowed to transmit the request for the radio resource allocation based on the first parameter and the second parameter; and transmitting, by the network, the radio resource allocation to the terminal.

Plain English Translation

In a wireless network, the network sends a message (RRC) to a mobile device (terminal). This message includes a parameter that controls whether the device can request radio resources, and another parameter specifying a time delay. The network then receives the resource request from the device only when the device is allowed to transmit it, based on those parameters. Finally, the network sends the radio resource allocation to the device.

Claim 13

Original Legal Text

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation by the terminal is prohibited for a certain time period indicated by the time information.

Plain English Translation

In addition to the network's method of controlling resource requests by sending parameters to a mobile device, the transmission of the resource request by the device is prohibited for a specific time period. This period is signaled to the device using time information in the control message, preventing resource request flooding.

Claim 14

Original Legal Text

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a timer is activated for the certain time period in order to prohibit the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation by the terminal.

Plain English Translation

Building upon the prohibition of resource requests for a period, a timer is activated for that certain time period to enforce the transmission prohibition. This ensures that the terminal is effectively prevented from sending a radio resource allocation request for the specific duration indicated by the time information.

Claim 15

Original Legal Text

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the timer is a scheduling request prohibit timer.

Plain English Translation

Further defining the timing control, the timer used to prohibit radio resource allocation requests is a scheduling request prohibit timer. This specifically blocks the scheduling request mechanism during the specified period.

Claim 16

Original Legal Text

16. A mobile terminal for receiving a radio resource allocation in a wireless communications system, the mobile terminal comprising: a radio protocol that: receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message from a network, wherein the RRC message includes a first parameter for controlling a request for the radio resource allocation, and wherein the RRC message further includes a second parameter indicating time information related to a delay of a transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation; and determines whether or not to transmit the request for the radio resource allocation to the network based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

Plain English Translation

A mobile phone (terminal) in a wireless network contains radio communication components (radio protocol) that receive control messages (RRC) from the network. These messages include parameters that control whether the phone can request radio resources, as well as time delay information. Based on these parameters, the phone decides whether to send the radio resource request to the network, allowing network-controlled access.

Claim 17

Original Legal Text

17. The mobile terminal of claim 16 , wherein the transmission of the request for the radio resource allocation is prohibited for a certain time period indicated by the time information.

Plain English Translation

In the mobile device that receives parameters to control radio resource requests, sending the request is prohibited for a specified time period. This time period is indicated by the time information received from the network, preventing excessive or untimely requests.
